Starting Point

This is part of the Braille Institute building at 741 N Vermont Ave in Silverlake.

The Blindfold

That's where the blindfold went on. Since it was the 4th of July, I wore my most patriotic sweatshirt.

The Intersection

Listen to the first audio file below for the sound of the crosswalk signals near the Braille Institute.

Hydrant?

I ran into something at about waist level and took a picture so I could see what it was later. What is it? Maybe a strangely tall, thin, red fire hydrant? Notice my green stick in the left hand.

LACC

Just up the street from the Braille Institute is Los Angeles City College. I ran into a railing, turned left, and took this photo.

Bus

I heard a large vehicle approaching. I shot.

People

I tried to catch people as I heard them go by.

Woman

Why would she be looking at me?

The Entrance

Finally, after 2 blocks of painstaking fumbling, I heard the mechanical murmur of an escalator.

Stairs

I opted not to use the escalator.

Down Under

The view from the bottom of the stairs.

Vents

As I went down into the station, I felt a rush of air coming from these.

Steps

There was a train in the station as I walked down.

Waiting

I heard a couple of these people, but there are more than I thought.
